Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol designed to ensure that data you send to
or receive from a network or the Internet is secure and authentic. The VersaMail
application uses SSL to help guarantee the secure transmission of e-mail messages
that you send and receive. When you set up an account in the VersaMail
application, you are given the option of selecting SSL for both incoming and
outgoing mail. See “Setting up and managing e-mail accounts” earlier in this
chapter for instructions.
If you set up an account that uses an SSL connection on Outlook, Outlook Express,
or Eudora, then SSL is supported in the Palm VersaMail HotSync Conduit when
you synchronize with that account as well.
NOTE You cannot use push mail with notification or scheduled sending retry of
e-mail with accounts that use an SSL connection. See “Push mail with notification”
and “Send retry” earlier in this chapter for information.
